SUMMARY

To transmit data over 1km, a transmitter with an output power of approximately one watt is required, provided it has a suitable data input. However, legal restrictions apply in most countries, necessitating a license to operate such transmitters. Frequencies like Citizens Band (27 MHz), model remote control bands (71 MHz), and Wireless networking frequencies (2400 MHz) may be exempt from licensing in certain regions, but users must adhere to power limitations and avoid interference. For optimal performance, using consumer-grade wireless routers with well-aimed directional parabolic antennas can significantly extend transmission distances.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of transmitter output power and data input requirements
  • Familiarity with local telecommunications laws and licensing
  • Knowledge of frequency bands such as Citizens Band (27 MHz) and Wireless networking frequencies (2400 MHz)
  • Experience with directional parabolic antennas and their applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research local regulations regarding transmitter licensing and operation
  • Explore the technical specifications of consumer-grade wireless routers
  • Learn about the construction and use of directional parabolic antennas
  • Investigate the performance of modified satellite TV antennas for long-distance Wi-Fi transmission
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for hobbyists, telecommunications engineers, and anyone interested in long-range data transmission while navigating legal constraints.

i want to ask what transmitter model can send the data over 1km?

Any transmitter that has an output power of about a watt will do this provided it has a suitable input for data.

However, all countries have laws that make this illegal without a licence. Penalties can cost you a lot of money or see you rot in jail.

So, unless you live on a remote island, you should check on the local laws before doing this. If you do live on a remote island, you should use VHF to avoid transmitting beyond line of sight.

Having said all that, there are certain frequencies in some countries that you could use to do this. Citizens Band (27 MHz) , model remote control bands (71 MHz) and Wireless networking frequencies (2400 MHz) may not need a license in some countries. Even then, there is an obligation to not interfere with other users on these bands and there may be power limitations.

Talk to the people at the Radio Frequency control authority in your city and ask if there is a legal way of doing what you want to do.
